I've done genetic algorithms. Yes they employ the concept of evolution but it's something that can be understood in under an hour, purely from a programming perspective. Knowing the theory of evolution isn't required for someone to be skilled at machine learning algorithms. That's not to say schools shouldn't teach the theory of evolution; they should, alongside relativity and other things that can open one's mind but have virtually zero value for competing globally.
